COURSE LEADER

Dr Eng. Massimo Mariello, Senior Postdoctoral Research Associate
University of Oxford, UK

Dr Massimo Mariello holds a Bachelor of Science (Industrial Engineering, October 2015), a Master of Science (October 2017) and PhD (May 2021) in Materials Engineering and Nanotechnology at the University of Salento and Italian Institute of Technology (Italy). He worked on flexible nanogenerators based on piezoelectric and triboelectric materials for mechanical energy harvesting and biosensing.  As postdoctoral scientist at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL, Switzerland, 2021-2023), he worked on implantable neuroprostheses and thin-film encapsulations. He developed a universal method for assessing quantitatively and accurately the reliability of barrier coatings and bioelectronic devices, based on the biodegradation of Magnesium thin-film permeability sensors. His research focuses on micro-devices, soft (bio)materials, neural interfaces, translational medicine. He is currently senior postdoctoral research associate at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering (IBME) (Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford). He is investigating laser-micropatterned advanced bioelectronics and neural interfaces for stimulation and drug delivery. He is member of the Italian Professional Body of Engineers, Standard-Bearer of Labour of the Italian Republic and Enterprise and Innovation Fellow of the Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division of the University of Oxford.
